Sapphire HD 4770 Review

Testing:

Left 4 Dead is a new release from Valve that leaves you as part of a group of survivors in a world where an infection has rapidly turned the populace into a zombie horde. Your goal is to make it to a rescue point, all while fighting what seems like overwhelming odds. Along the way there are safe houses where you can replenish your weapons and health. The movie "I Am Legend" comes to mind to set the stage for this game. But unlike the movie, there are four characters and not just a lone gun and his faithful companion. The horde is not at all like the typical slow walking, foot shuffling zombies. These zombies are quick and work with pack mentality. You have but one job; survival!

The Sapphire HD 4770 delivers lower FPS in this title. The frame rates that are delivered are playable all the way through 1920x1200. At 1920x1200, the performance differential between the direct competition for the HD 4770 amounts to 4 to 6 FPS against factory overclocked cards.
